Our dwarf nigerian doe has had problems for a while, she has hair loss around the eyes, puss sometimes forms. and she also has really bad bumps on her chin. We have free choice baking soda and minerals. We have been using adam’s flea and tick and nu stock (she seems to rub it off after we put it on) and she has also been wormed recently by our vet. Anyone know what it might be?

Here are some causes....

Hair loss in goats can be caused by a number of things, including:
Nutritional deficiencies
Deficiencies in minerals, vitamins A, B, C, D, and E, as well as iron and zinc, can cause hair loss. Symptoms include rough, flaky skin, scruffiness, balding tail tips, and hair loss. Younger goats, especially weaned kids, can be more susceptible to deficiencies.
Skin issues
Skin issues caused by selenium or vitamin E deficiencies, or dermatitis caused by an allergic reaction, can cause hair loss around the eyes. Sulfur deficiency can cause alopecia and even "fleece-eating" in cashmere goats.
Lice
Lice irritation can cause the skin to thicken, which can reduce hair production and cause physical hair loss through scratching. The fibers can also become weakened, matted, tangled, and discolored.
Ringworm
When fungi invade a goat's skin, it can directly lead to hair loss or breakage by affecting the hair follicles and shafts. The disease can also cause itchiness, which can lead to hair loss indirectly as the infected animal scratches or rubs against surfaces.
